Answer:

The percent increase of the second year is 400%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let the population of birds was x.

After 2 years the population becomes 7 times more than before.

Therefore, after 2 years population is 7x.

In first year increase in the population was 40%.

Population after 1st year = x + 40% of x

Population after 1st year = x + 0.40x

Population after 1st year = 1.4x

The population increase from 1st year to 2nd year is: 7x-1.4x=5.6x

Thus the percentage increase is:

\% increase=\frac{5.6x}{1.4x}\times100=400\%

Hence, in second year the population of birds increase by 400%.

I need algebra help.....
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

y=4(3)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table given in the question,

x            y              Difference                  Ratio

1            12                     -                             -

2           36              36-12 = 24              \frac{36}{12}=3

3          108            108-36 = 72             \frac{108}{36}=3

4          324            324-108 = 216        \frac{324}{108}=3

5          972            972-324 = 648      \frac{648}{216}=3

There is a common ratio of 3 in each successive term.

Therefore, data given in the table will represent an exponential function.

y=a(b)^x

For a point (1, 12),

12=a(b)^1

ab=12 ------(1)

For another point of the table (2,36),

36=a(b)^2

ab^2=36 --------(2)

Equation (2) divided by equation (1)

\frac{ab^2}{ab}=\frac{36}{12}

b=3

From equation (1),

3a=12

a=4

Therefore, exponential function will be,

y=4(3)^x

A 5000 seat theater has tickets for sale at 26 and 40. How many tickets should be sold at each price for a sellout performance t
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The number of tickets for sale at $26 should be 3300

The number of tickets for sale at $40 should be 1700

Step-by-step explanation:

Use 2 equations to represent the modifiers within the problem:

5000 = a + b \\ 153800 = 26a + 40b

Now you want to find the point at which the variables are changed to make both equations correct, this can be done by graphing and finding the intersection of both lines.

5000 = 3300 + 1700 \\ 153800 = 26(3300) + 40(1700)

Write the equation in slope-intercept form: 4x -2y =12
DedPeter [7]

4x - 2y = 12 \\   \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \frac{ - 2y}{ - 2}  =  \frac{ - 4x}{ - 2}  \:  +  \frac{12}{ - 2}  \\  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: y = 2x - 6

Therefore, the answer is 1) y = 2x - 6
